Is The U.S. Navy’s Gerald R. Ford-Class Aircraft Carriers Too Expensive?
Is the Gerald R. Ford-class simply too expensive for the job? We asked two top naval experts their opinion.

 Gerald R. Ford-class Aircraft Carrier: Too Expensive? Here is what the experts told 19FortyFive:
No warship ever built is as expensive as the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) – the lead vessel of a new class of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. As the largest warship ever constructed in terms of displacement, CVN-78 is an impressive vessel that will likely serve as a symbol of power projection throughout the world for decades to come.

And yet, even as she is loaded with new and innovative technologies, there remain issues with numerous systems that haven’t exactly worked as planned.

From the ship’s toilets, which regularly clog, to the ordnance elevators that didn’t function properly, numerous systems have had serious teething issues that have needed to be resolved.

It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The grammarian responsible for that headline is, obviously, a graduate of our woke education system. *****rollingeyes*****

Is Ford-Class-bashing going to be another cottage industry like F-35-bashing?

I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

If the Navy wants to stop the bashing, they need to change the name to something more suitable to the media, like the USS Stacy Abrams. *****rollingeyes*****
